Summary of modules changes for the 5.12 merge window:
- Retire EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(). These export
types were introduced between 2006 - 2008. All the of the unused symbols have
been long removed and gpl future symbols were converted to gpl quite a long
time ago, and I don't believe these export types have been used ever since.
So, I think it should be safe to retire those export types now. (Christoph Hellwig)
- Refactor and clean up some aged code cruft in the module loader (Christoph Hellwig)
- Build {,module_}kallsyms_on_each_symbol only when livepatching is enabled, as
it is the only caller (Christoph Hellwig)
- Unexport find_module() and module_mutex and fix the last module
callers to not rely on these anymore. Make module_mutex internal to
the module loader. (Christoph Hellwig)
- Harden ELF checks on module load and validate ELF structures before checking
the module signature (Frank van der Linden)
- Fix undefined symbol warning for clang (Fangrui Song)
- Fix smatch warning (Dan Carpenter)

With LTO, everything is compiled into LLVM bitcode, so we have to link
each module into native code before modpost. Kbuild uses the .lto.o
suffix for these files, which also ends up in module information. This
change strips the unnecessary .lto suffix from the module name.

We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail
out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only
prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:").
In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate
the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as
check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general
because we should display as many error messages as possible in a
single run of modpost.
What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first
error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix
all errors.
But, unfortunately, people tend to do:
"This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()."
One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error
code to the main() function.
This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically
makes modpost return the error code.
I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal().
Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so.
For example:
- Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed)
- The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing
- Something really odd has happened
For general coding errors, please use error().

The log function names, warn(), merror(), fatal() are inconsistent.
Commit 2a11665945 ("kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings
in modpost") intentionally chose merror() to avoid the conflict with
the library function error(). See man page of error(3).
But, we are already causing the conflict with warn() because it is also
a library function. See man page of warn(3). err() would be a problem
for the same reason.
The common technique to work around name conflicts is to use macros.
For example:
/* in a header */
#define error(fmt, ...) __error(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#define warn(fmt, ...) __warn(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
/* function definition */
void __error(const char *fmt, ...)
{
<our implementation>
}
void __warn(const char *fmt, ...)
{
<our implementation>
}
In this way, we can implement our own warn() and error(), still we can
include <error.h> and <err.h> with no problem.
And, commit 93c95e526a ("modpost: rework and consolidate logging
interface") already did that.
Since the log functions are all macros, we can use error() without
causing "conflicting types" errors.

new_module() conditionally strips the .o because the modname has .o

The meaning of 'skip' is obscure since it does not explain
"what to skip".
mod->skip is set when it is vmlinux or the module info came from
a dump file.
So, mod->skip is equivalent to (mod->is_vmlinux || mod->from_dump).
For the check in write_namespace_deps_files(), mod->is_vmlinux is
unneeded because the -d option is not passed in the first pass of
modpost.

is_vmlinux() is called in several places to check whether the current

Previously, there were two cases where mod->is_dot_o is unset:
[1] the executable 'vmlinux' in the second pass of modpost
[2] modules loaded by read_dump()
I think [1] was intended usage to distinguish 'vmlinux.o' and 'vmlinux'.
Now that modpost does not parse the executable 'vmlinux', this case
does not happen.
[2] is obscure, maybe a bug. Module.symver stores module paths without
extension. So, none of modules loaded by read_dump() has the .o suffix,
and new_module() unsets ->is_dot_o. Anyway, it is not a big deal because
handle_symbol() is not called for the case.
To sum up, all the parsed ELF files are .o files.
mod->is_dot_o is unneeded.

modpost uses grab_file() to open a file, but it is not suitable for
a text file because the mmap'ed file is not terminated by null byte.
Actually, I see some issues for the use of grab_file().
The new helper, read_text_file() loads the whole file content into a
malloc'ed buffer, and appends a null byte. Then, get_line() reads
each line.
To handle text files, I intend to replace as follows:
grab_file() -> read_text_file()
get_new_line() -> get_line()

The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols
loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building
external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols
to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
It is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump
file or ELF object.
This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols
loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
Going forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but
not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe
this makes more sense.
sym->vmlinux will have no user. Remove it too.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Currently, namespace_from_kstrtabns() relies on the fact that
namespace strings are recorded in the __ksymtab_strings section.
Actually, it is coded in include/linux/export.h, but modpost does
not need to hard-code the section name.
Elf_Sym::st_shndx holds the index of the relevant section. Using it is
a more portable way to get the namespace string.
Make namespace_from_kstrtabns() simply call sym_get_data(), and delete
the info->ksymtab_strings .
While I was here, I added more 'const' qualifiers to pointers.

The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps
files.
Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information.
This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel
when the -j option is given.
On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread.
I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files.
This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file,
modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format:
<module_name>: <list of missing namespaces>
Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones.
So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good.
This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process
already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the
nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed.
This also solves the stale .ns_deps problem reported by Jessica Yu:

The introduction of Symbol Namespaces changed the naming schema of the
__ksymtab entries from __kysmtab__symbol to __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.symbol.
That caused some breakages in tools that depend on the name layout in
either the binaries(vmlinux,*.ko) or in System.map. E.g. kmod's depmod
would not be able to read System.map without a patch to support symbol
namespaces. A warning reported by depmod for namespaced symbols would
look like
depmod: WARNING: [...]/uas.ko needs unknown symbol usb_stor_adjust_quirks
In order to address this issue, revert to the original naming scheme and
rather read the __kstrtabns_<symbol> entries and their corresponding
values from __ksymtab_strings to update the namespace values for
symbols. After having read all symbols and handled them in
handle_modversions(), the symbols are created. In a second pass, read
the __kstrtabns_ entries and update the namespaces accordingly.

This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a <module>.ns_deps file
per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module.
E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol
myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created
by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace
dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc.
These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like
coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A
later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a
corresponding make target to automatically add missing
MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses
the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This patch makes modpost able to process object files with more than
64k sections. Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example)
with -ffunction-sections. 64k sections handling is covered, for example,

The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.

This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous
to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file
when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and
format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text
file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code,
analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for
kernels other than the one you are running right now.
The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define
the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the
__markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as
the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable
amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section
structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the
sun.

The relocation record sometimes contained an address
which was not an exactly match for a symbol.
Implment some simple logic such that if there
is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained
in the relocation record then print the name of this
symbol.
With this change modpost could find symbol names
for the remaining .init.text symbols in my
allyesconfig build for x86_64.

This reverts commit f892b7d480, which
totally broke the build on x86 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (which, as far as
I can tell, is the only case where it should even matter!) due to a

Some of modpost's warnings are fatal, and some are not. Adopt the
compiler distinction between errors and warnings by calling merror()
for fatal diagnostics and warn() for non-fatal ones.

Modules that uses GPL symbols can no longer be build with kbuild,
the build will fail during the modpost step.
When a GPL-incompatible module uses a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE symbol
then warn during modpost so author are actually notified.
The actual license compatibility check is shared with the kernel
to make sure it is in sync.

I found that modpost can not detect section mismatch on mips and i386. On
mips64, the modpost (with r_info layout fix) can detect it. The current
modpst only checks SHT_RELA section but I suppose SHT_REL section should be
checked also. This patch does not contain r_info layout fix. I'll post an
updated r_info layout fix on next mail.
Check SHT_REL sections as like as SHT_RELA sections to detect section
mismatch.

Section mismatch is identified as references to .init*
sections from non .init sections. And likewise references
to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections.
.init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized
and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates.
.exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and
thus references to .exit are also oops candidates.
The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which
called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and
reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality
inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted.
They will though be kept for a while so users can do double
checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts
so result is not 1:1.
All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented
the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost.
Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run
for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but
the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
